    One would logically think boxing is far less dangerous than street fighting because in a street fight nobody is guaranteed to step in if things go bad for somebody. It's absolutely true that many street fights end up with someone getting hurt worse than boxers are ever hurt in their entire careers. You can doubtless find many youtube fights where someone is hurt worse than Floyd ever was.

    That's all fine and dandy but doesn't detract from my point. Boxing is fighting, and people have being permanently injured and died in the ring even with referee involvement.

    Funny how the threads from Fury fan boys about Joshua being a quitter has multiplied since Usyk played boxing snooker with Belly. :)

    At least Fury didn't quit or throw Usyks belts out of the ring ;)

    I cant wait to watch this bout. Dubois is the first dangerous puncher Joshua faces after Ruiz (I dont consider Ngannou because he is not a boxer imo). I wanna see if Bodybuilders jaw holds or not like with the Mexican.

    Said that, I think DDD has many chance to drop Joshua before the middle and honestly I hope it happens to confirm Joshuas chin is a B- level and it is his main weakness.

    Therefore...if Dubois manages to land some good right hands on Joshuas skull in the first rounds without get seriously hit it could be the second KO suffered by Bodybuilder in his career.

    Dubois shipped s load of right hands in his last fight. Seems his toughness is in check now.
    If he can tighten up defensively he could take AJ out. I'd pick AJ to quit before Dubouis but don't think either will quit as I can see a k.o settling it.

    Neither of them are going to quit. This is a British domestic dust up and bragging rights are on the line. Dubois Defeated his Demons and AJ never quit. Somebody is getting KTFO.

    I think this will be a close exciting fight with 2 big hitters in or around their primes. Joshua has the edge due to experience and a more polished skill set. But Dubois definitely has a chance here. He's got a fine jab, obviously more than enough power to ktfo Joshua and the determination and resilience he showed against Hrgovic was impressive.

    Talk of quitting from a keyboard warrior who would mess his frilly pants if either of these guys said boo to him is quite laughable.

    Yeah Leonard pushed the rematch when Duran was out of shape as the animal he was in and out of the ring. It's not mentioned much but is in that cracking documentary I watched.

    And dubois now has his dad in his corner which seems to make him think twice about throwing the towel in although I wouldn't call taking a knee with a broken face quitting tbh anyway.

    ''Quitting'' because of a broken orbital socket isn't really quitting, if you value your sight that it and your career

    Which is why you're still trying to justify AJ quitting I guess. Then AJ proceeds to get gifted a belt by the man who schooled him twice out of sheer pity.

    I'm glad Usyk is the champion and AJ is out in the cold with his trinket.

    No but he said he won the fight and said the judges robbed him because of the war in Ukraine.
    Both took their beatings like crybaby bitches
